Gingerbread Farm

by Josh and Brent

Gingerbread descends from Medieval European culinary traditions. Gingerbread was also shaped into different forms by monks in Germany in the 13th century. Nuremberg was recognized as the “Gingerbread Capital of the World” when in the 1600s the guild started to employ master bakers and skilled workers to create complicated works of art from gingerbread. Medieval bakers used carved boards to create elaborate designs. During the 13th century, the custom spread across Europe. It was taken to Sweden in the 13th century by German immigrants.

I love detail and the projects I tackle always get things added to them that make them more complicated than the original plan…BUT…I haven’t gotten THIS far with gingerbread. Something to put on the bucket list…wow. Just incredible!
